I've waited a two to three months before leaving a review so that I could accurately describe the performance of the product.Setup was easy and when 1 of the 4 cameras wouldn't sync, I contacted Eufy Support, yes they are in China and yes support times mean UK roughly 6am to 1pm, BUT the team spoke perfect English and replaced my faulty camera (that probably got damaged in transit) very quickly, in fact as soon as I emailed them a proof of posting it to their returns dept in the UK, so before they even got the actual damaged one back.Onto the 4 cameras, purchased because our neighbours door bell camera failed to pick up a suspicious vehicle one night in our quiet close. Cameras were all partly charged to get to full charge, was no more than an hour or two.- We're using the Ethernet cable setup to the router. We tried the "standard" working mode but this kept losing connection to the Homebase. Once we changed to "Beta" it became a lot more stable. Property is large 5 bed BT wifi with two additional discs. Homebase has performed well throughout and all cameras have reasonable wifi signal. Ideally I may consider a 5th camera to add to the Homebase.- Positioning, follow instruction manual 8 to 10 foot high (3 to 3.5 metres) whilst you think positioning higher may prevent theft as the cameras could be removed, they wont pick up movement. I know this as I set one of our cameras too high up. Now for the good bit, we have 4 cameras, 3 at the front and one at the back.-Recording, yes there does seem to be a slight delay before the camera picks up, perhaps quickened by hard wiring to a 240v plug, I don't know BUT there is a way around this to catch everything. Imagine the front of your house as a clock face, if you position cameras at 4 o'clock angled towards 10; 6 o'clock facing straight towards 12 and 8 o'clock angled towards 2, you'll catch everything. On a good day cameras will trigger if movement occurs 25 to 30 metres away, so handy to log any suspicious vehicles coming down the road.- Individual cameras, we set to Motion Detection 7 (highest capacity) with all detection 24/7 so not just human and Battery in Power Manager to Optimal Surveillance though this does start to drain the battery so changed to Optimal battery power which will record for up to 20 seconds which does improve battery life. On stormy days very strong wind or rain can keep triggering the camera if exposed to the wind direction. To get around this during the stormy weather, simply lower the detection level.-Battery Life, 3 months in I recharged the main porch camera once it dropped to 27%. The other 2 front cameras are still at 43% and 47%. The rear garden camera, least used, is still at 78%.- Overall summary, day vision and night vision (have only tried black & white is very good) Haven't bothered integrating with Alexa and have Android phone so can't speak for Apple. Microphone is good as is facility to tell delivery driver where to leave a parcel. Lastly found no benefit in keeping "Activity Zones" as we think they affected the camera performance. Privacy Zones - we haven't set up either. Yes it does mean the cameras do pick up a proportion of neighbours comings and goings, but similarly will pick up any dodgy comings and goings.

Eufy home camera kit is a great and easy way to protect your home and have piece of mind while your out, it is easy to set up and the picture quality is good in the 2k range I don't think I'd need more than this kit delivers. The range of connection on the distance you can have the cameras from the home base is good to, I even have one camera about 25 feet away inside a concrete garage. The cameras can Custom adjust to detection boundary and are quite sensitive... this dose mean that high traffic area cameras will need charging more often. But this is easy to do, just unscrew the camera from its mount and charge in the house it takes about 5 to 7 hours to fully charge from flat, ( You can charge leaving the camera place from a battery pack hanging off an s hook but I just find it better to take down wipe over and charge inside.) I get about 2 months on a very high traffic area Driveway and part of the public payment gets picked up so anyone walking close to my gate gets picked up and my neighbour get picked up when they go to there car.But the camera in the garage has lasted about 6 months so far and still has charge.All in All I'm very happy with the home security and piece of mind being able to drop in and see what is going on from your phone.. and you can speak on your shone and it will come out of the camera or you can trigger an audible alarm from your phone as well as download the footage.

Easy to set up but range of camara sensing and distance to hub is limited

We have already had one burglary attempt foiled by these cameras whilst away from the home. We had the motion detection alarm set to 10pm-7am. And we had set the app so that one motion detection would set off every camera alarm, as well as the homebase alarm. Well a pair of hooligans arrived at 2.15am tip-toeing up to the house in their hoodies and tracksuits (surprise suprise). When they got within range, every alarm went off, and it was like a comedy seeing them stumble over themselves trying to get away! Best part is, we ended up sharing the footage of the whole ordeal to friends and family and now everyone wants one.I cannot fault these cameras.-Excellent customisation of settings, like mentioned above, it gives you the choice to set schedules and set motion detection ranges and even sensitivities-Yes, at first the camera picked up a few foxes, but as time went on they don't anymore. I think the app uses AI to learn it's mistakes? Now very impressed, we have no false alarms at all-Excellent night vision-So convenient to have access to all of your cameras on your phone-Easy to set up-The battery lasts for ages! So far it hasnt even dropped below 80%-One homebase can have all these cameras plus the Eufy doorbell and any additional cameras paired, and they can all be accessed from the same app-Multiple people can use the app if you give them permission, so my wife can keep an eye on thingsThe only request I would have from Eufy is to allow multiple live feeds to be shown on the app. It's not a huge bother though.
